The Apartments Update! – Safehouses, New Items, and More

Well it’s been a long couple weeks but it’s finally here. You can now purchase safehouses and apartments in Broke Protocol! No longer do you have to hide valuables in far off locations, aboard docked boats, or on remote rooftops. You can now easily save items in your own safehouse… forever!

To get one of these new apartments, you have to find the yellow apartment map markers and step up to the door. There are different levels of accommodation ranging from small storage spaces for around $1,000 to large bedroom suites at $15,000. At the door you can preview the space, or buy it straight up. When inside, you can use the action menu to Buy and Place from scores of new apartment objects including sofas, instruments, and artwork.

After you’ve customized your place from a selection of over 200 new furniture and item additions, you can invite friends to plan your next big heist or territory takeover.

A lot of the new objects will have functional use in the future, from working coffee machines, to beds restoring energy. But more on that later! For now…
